TOO OLD TO ROCK 'N' ROLL: TOO YOUNG TO DIE CHORDS

[Start]

[Intro]
Cm Ab F Eb Db F C
          
        F               G        C Am  
The old rocker wore his hair too  long
                       G        
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
C Cm            G        Am                G        
 Unfashionable  to the end drank his ale too light


[Verse]
             C            D           G     
Death's head belts buckle yesterday's dreams
E7            Am              D   
The transport caf' prophet of doom
G            C         D          G         
 Ringing no change in his double sewn seams
       Em           Am   
In his postwar babe gloom
             D               D7     
Now he's too old to rock 'n'   roll


[Chorus]
         Bb              
But he's too young to die
C            F               Bb  
Yes he's too old to rock 'n' roll
    Eb             Am    
But he's too young to die
                       Dm      
He once owned a Harley Davidson
      Dm                
And a triumph Bonneville
Bb                     C          F          
Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs
    Bb         Eb            
And prays that he always will
Bb                                  F            
But he's the last of the blue blood greasers boys


[Inst]
Cm Ab F Eb Db F C
          


[Verse]
        F  G C A7                      
And all of   his mates are doing time
Dm                 G       Gsus4 C          F   
Married with three kids up by     the ring road
G                C        Am       Dm  
Sold their souls straight down the line
G                           C          
And some of them own little sports cars
    D                  G    Em  
And meet at the tennis club do's
                               Am    
For drinks on a Sunday work on Monday
                    D          G            
They've thrown away their blue  suede shoes
                       C            
Now they're too old to rock 'n' roll
                D           
And they're too young to die
                            G       
And they're too old to rock 'n' roll
                         Em 
And they're too young to die
       Am         D                
So the old rocker gets out his bike


[Chorus]
                        Bb        C    
To make a ton before he takes his leave
          F                    
Up on the Aone by Scotch Corner
Bb           Eb        
Just like it used to be
A7              Dm               
And as he flies tears in his eyes
    Bb                         C         
His windwhipped words echo the final take
       F                         Bb           Eb         Bb        
And he hits the trunk road doing around a one   hundred and twenty
        Bb                
With no room left to brake
               F7  F             Bb  
And he was too old  to rock 'n' roll
                        C7 
But he was too young to die
       F                   Bb  
He was too old to rock 'n' roll
    Eb            Bb          
And   he was too young to die
                           F7           
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll
              Bb          
If you're too young to die
          C         F               Bb   Eb
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll  
               Bb       C  
But he was too young to die
